How to use the Timestamp Converter

  1. Paste a timestamp — seconds or milliseconds, it works out which.
  2. Read the date in your own timezone and in UTC.
  3. Or go the other way: pick a date and get the timestamp.

Questions people ask

Seconds or milliseconds?

Unix timestamps are traditionally in seconds; JavaScript uses milliseconds. A present-day value with ten digits is seconds and thirteen is milliseconds, and this tool tells you which it assumed.

What is the 2038 problem?

Systems that store the timestamp as a signed 32-bit number run out of room on 19 January 2038. Anything storing it as a 64-bit number is unaffected, which is most modern software.
